My oficial New Year’s plan.
Surprisingly, it doesn’t really involve all too much drinking. I mean, yes there will be the not being sober. But this is me we’re talking about. There’s apparently some form of a party going on on Sunday, and I fully intend to be there this time. Unlike the last few … Read the rest

The 2006 Santa Clause parade.
As we do every year, a good portion of my family–that being a couple of my aunts, a few cousins, my mom, me, and now my future sister-in-law–took in the traditional Pembroke parade tonight, the first time in a long time they actually held the parade in the evening. Not … Read the rest

Does somebody maybe kinda wanna tell me why?
Okay, so… I can understand older people wanting to at least look younger. But when your 30 years old, or thereabouts, it *probably* isn’t a good idea to be trying to make yourself look good with your hair done up in pink elastics. At least, not to the extent where … Read the rest

So that’s what having power feels like.
Somewhere around 1:30 we ended up losing power, for reasons I still don’t exactly know. Well, other than that Pembroke/Pettawawa’s hydro system sucks royally. So, needless to say, it was not fun when the temperature outside happens to be hovering at or just barely above freezing. I don’t know exactly, … Read the rest

Go shopping for a guitar and end up with clothes. Go figure.
The original plan was to drop my brother off at work, then get a bit of household shopping out of the way, before we went to at least price out a decent-sounding guitar so I can actually give my uncle’s back to him. Well, we managed to get 2 of … Read the rest

Common sense not included.
We went shopping this afternoon, just for a couple things we needed around the house… nothing all too major, really. It was still the biggest mistake I made today. First, my mother couldn’t make up her mind where the hell she wanted to go, so we’re doing the halfway up … Read the rest

Proof I did not sleep through my law course.
I know the stuff better than the moron acting like a security guard at the gate to what’s left of the much advertised waterfront festivle this afternoon. Me, my mom, and my aunt decided to go see what all was going on, since today was the last day of it … Read the rest

Some wake-up calls are not good things to have.
And, when your power goes out 5 minutes before you plan to shower, that’s not a wake-up call you want to have any part of… especially when you’re not on municipal water, and so depend on electricity for your running water… kinda like us. So, there was lots of excitement … Read the rest

That was all sorts of unfun.
Shortly after my last post to this here thing yesterday, we decided to lose power–thank you, thunder storms. Originally it started alternating between going out, and staying on… with the occasional blink/flicker thing in between. Then it just died for good, and stayed dead for over 24 hours. Not good … Read the rest

One waste of a Friday night, coming up!
So, we decided to go to a party last night for some person’s wedding that I’ve never even heard of, never mind actually met, and it turned out to be more of a rehearsal for the reception than anything else. The music sucked muchly, there were speeches of all sorts … Read the rest
